Male involvement in contraceptive practice remains low. Family planning and pediatric health associations have recommended an emphasis on long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC) in clinical counseling with adolescents and young adults, raising concerns about the resulting adverse impact on sexually transmitted infection (STI) rates. College-attending men responded to an internet based questionnaire (n=31) and a phone-based qualitative interview (n=25). Our survey solicited attitudes toward and knowledge of contraceptive methods and assessed communication practices with sexual partners regarding use of contraception and disease prevention. Knowledge about female methods of contraception was low, with a comparatively high level of knowledge about Plan B. Parents and health care providers were cited as the most helpful sources of information. Conversations about protection with sexual partners were reported by most men, due mainly to fear of unplanned pregnancy, not STI. Addressing couple communication and dual protection among college-attending men needs greater emphasis.
男性参与避孕措施的比例仍然很低。计划生育和儿科健康协会建议，在对青少年和年轻人进行临床咨询时，应重点关注长效可逆避孕方法（LARC），这引发了人们对其对性传播感染（STI）率产生的不利影响的担忧。上大学的男性回应了一份基于网络的问卷（n = 31）和一次基于电话的定性访谈（n = 25）。我们的调查征求了他们对避孕方法的态度和知识，并评估了与性伴侣在避孕使用和疾病预防方面的沟通情况。对女性避孕方法的了解程度较低，而对紧急避孕药（Plan B）的了解程度相对较高。父母和医疗保健提供者被认为是最有用的信息来源。大多数男性报告称与性伴侣进行了关于保护措施的交谈，主要原因是担心意外怀孕，而非性传播感染。需要更加重视解决上大学的男性中的伴侣沟通和双重保护问题。
